Tag: Shellac

June 5th, 2007. If you can get past Manson’s pretentious attitude, and dreary aesthetic, then you will be presented with some of the more interesting sounding Alternative-Rock. Obviously this is a big ask. Manson’s music is meant for everyone so if you don’t think you can put up with Marilyn Manson the character then feel free to skip this album. For those that are patient enough to overlook the facade, you will not be sorry.

Worth Listening To:

Excellent Italian Greyhound – Shellac

June 5th, 2007. While the jury might still be out on whether or not the music on Excellent Italian Greyhound is enjoyable to listen to, it does present some interesting ideas and concepts about music that fans of complicated sounds will enjoy. Spoken word lyrics, distorted guitars, and a set of drums are about the only parts of this album that seem conventional.

Epiphany – T-Pain

June 5th, 2007. Much like the songs on this album, most listeners will find this album as a hit or miss. The production on this album is great and the actual music is fun to listen to and meant to be played at clubs and parties, but the lyrics are laughably bad for the majority of the album. The question listeners will have to ask themselves is: How ridiculous do the lyrics have to be before I stop listening? Unfortunately that is something each person will have to answer on their own.

What It’s All About

AoTD is an attempt to listen to all of the good music that was released between 1950 and today, while also writing down a few thoughts about each album. In an attempt to make this more organized I'll only be listening to albums that were released in a year ending with the same number of the current year. Its 2017, so that means years that end in 7's: 2007, 1997, 1987, 1977, 1967, and 1957.
